Westside Montessori Academy is making its love of learning available to even more elementary-age students at our beautiful new school in Vancouver.
For 15 years, Westside Montessori Academy has been serving families from their space at Vancouver’s Italian Cultural Centre. Now, for their 2023-2024 school year, theyโve brought their unique, creative teaching style to spacious classrooms on the second and third floors of a uniquely child-centred building at 5550 Fraser Street. At the corner of 41st and Fraser Street. Perched over Aquaventures Swim Centre and the Bolton Academy of Spoken Arts (BASA), there is plenty of room to grow in this space.
In addition to following a Montessori curriculum โ we are committed to celebrating respect for the child as Maria Montessori intended, with her focus on Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language Arts and Cultural Studies.
